Just picked up my set of blizzaks from Pt.Roberts this morning, lucky that I didn't get taxed.

Is there snow up at cypress right now?

dared3vil0 11-30-2013 08:50 PM

A bunch of dirt and a 10x30 foot patch of man made ice rain pushed together on one run.

dared3vil0 11-30-2013 09:52 PM

Definitely not worth it. This heavy rain should be giving all the mountains a nice dump on "real" snow!

thumper 12-01-2013 04:41 AM

maybe tomorrow then? if those news reports about flurries in the lower areas are true, that should translate into real snow on the mountains hopefully?

dared3vil0 12-01-2013 08:07 AM

Yeah they got a dumping last night.

Lomac 12-01-2013 08:36 AM

Lotsa snow dumped this weekend. Can't wait to get the Pathfinder back so I can start doing some snow 4x4'ing. :fullofwin:

Was happy to notice that the BF Goodrich all terrains I got for my truck are actually winter rated as well!

Guess I wasn't clear enough. mainly the parking lot.

checked today and it's bone dry.

thumper 12-06-2013 07:19 AM

black ice today people. i was heading out to work at 5am and saw tow trucks pulling out a civic in the ditch in front of gardenworks burnaby on lougheed.

weather forecast said -4'c but i saw -11'c on the temp display in the car?!?

the plow trucks are out deicing but too little too late i guess for some.

A friendly reminder... Michelin MXM4 are crap on snow/ice... get your winters on NOW.


THIS was the incident back in our last BIG dumping of 2008 that made me a firm believer in winter tires. Alley way was a sheet of ice covered with snow. absolutely no traction... it didn't help that the TL was an auto though.


GabAlmighty 12-06-2013 01:37 PM

It was -45 this morning and no amount of cranking would start the Toyota. Finally got it started this afternoon.

How cold is it in Vancouver again?

Oh, and I don't have winter tires. Just mud terrains and a locker.

dared3vil0 12-06-2013 01:38 PM

Supposed to be -17 tonight with wind chill.

Smart move getting out of your car while it is in gear and the wheel is spinning. Would have been hilarious if you had gotten traction and it went through that fence...
